Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Friday that President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet selection process has been a “disaster,” but he said it’s “too early to tell” whether the full U.S. Senate would actually reject any of the picks.

“This Cabinet selection has been a disaster for the president,” Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat, said on CNN’s “New Day.” “We call it the swamp Cabinet … billionaires and bankers.”

Mr. Schumer said Republicans are trying to rush the process and that Democrats are not “opposing for its own sake.”
